fear and loathing in hudson

Well, everyone survived the annual Sail 'n Golf this year. An event replete with copious amounts of alcohol, food, fun and 'what happens on the boat, stays on the boat'.

Actually, this is the first year that anyone can recall it ever having rained, which certainly put a damper on the usual post-golf 5 a 7 flotilla. Unfortunately, no pictures of people huddled unsucessfully under umbrellas on all the Tanzer 22s. My most memorable picture, other than the insanity of our floating boat of debauchery professionally covered in a perfect tarp(aulin), is most certainly the 'chinese junket ship' aka a Tanzer 22 covered entirely with a sail. I really must fix my camera...

Other than that, events unfolded as they do every year: the flotilla coming down the channel, everyone getting stuck in the shallows! (except us, we seemed to have learned our lesson this year!), us winning the race home, scotch-water (exactly what i needed - not). And last but not least, a cryptic reminder for myself of how i continue to provide and enable quasi illegal fun. Ah the joys ... :)
